Uninstalling an app on your Mac isn't as straightforward as you would think. When you drag and drop an app into the Trash, then empty it, the main app itself may be gone, but many associated files and folders are left behind. So how do you get rid of them? There are a couple of ways. To completely delete an application and all of its linked files and folders, you can either do it manually or let another app do it for you.
This guide covers both. Either way, you're on your way to a spot-free Mac OS X computer. How to Manually Uninstall Apps & Their Files This method relies on you doing the work to purge all associated files from your Mac. If you don't want to do any work, and don't mind installing another app to do your dirty work, then jump down to the next method. Step 1: Drag & Drop App into Trash Apps will usually reside in the Applications folder, but if not, you can use either Spotlight or Finder to locate it.
Find the app you want to delete and drag it to Trash—I'll be getting rid of Samsung Kies. Now you've seemingly uninstalled the app, but unfortunately you haven't rid your Mac of all the files associated with it, such as cache, framework, and PLIST files. Navigating through your Library folder, I'll show you how to get rid of these files and folders in the next step. Step 2: Get Rid of Associated Files Through Library Application resources—files which an app needs to function properly— can all be located within the Library folder on your hard drive. Unfortunately, after Mac OS X 10.7, Apple decided to hide this folder on your computer. So let's unlock it first. First you'll need to open Finder, click on 'Go' in the menu bar, hold down on the Alt/Option key to bring up the Library option, then click on it.
Don't Miss. Since I had over 50 folders, it took me a bit of time to go through everything and find the files I wanted to delete.

Caches. Containers. Frameworks. Logs. Preferences. Saved Application State. WebKit Below you can see some of the files that Samsung Kies left behind on my computer, including two framework files that I found in the Frameworks folder and three cache files that were inside of a Kies folder in Caches.
All in all, I found loads of empty folders and files pertaining to apps that I had deleted long ago, in the folders I mentioned above. Inside of Application Support, I found several local files for games from Steam that I didn't need, so I deleted those.
In Containers, I wiped preference settings for. Saved Application State had numerous data files, for apps such as and, all of which had to go. As I mentioned earlier, going through each folder could be time-intensive, but luckily there's an easier way to hunt down rogue files from applications past. Step 3: Use Search in Library Instead of manually going through each folder in Library, enter the app's name into the search bar at the top right of Finder. You'll see files with that app's name show up, as long as the 'Library' option is selected next to 'Search.'

Which Process Works Best for You? While deleting associated files will free up space on your computer, you need to be careful about what you delete from the Library folder.

If you're not quite sure, I suggest you use one of the two apps I mentioned above, both of which are free and incredibly easy to use. With AppTrap and AppCleaner, you don't have to worry about any harm occurring to your iMac, MacBook, Mac mini, etc., other than completely nuking data from your deleted apps.
